Question

College student are offered a 8% discount on a textbook that sells for $39.50. If the sales tax is 8%, find the cost of the textbook including the sales tax

Answer 1

Sales tax 8%
8/100 x $39.50
= $3.16

Textbook price + Sales Tax =
$39.50 + $3.16
=$42.66

Discount 8%
8/100 x $42.66
= $3.4128

Textbook price - Discount
= $42.66 - $3.4128
=$39.2472
